Craftsman: I continue to learn for the sake of the saints

Chapter 103 The Story in Blue and White
then.

There was another Liu Bo in the street sweeping team.

"Don't talk for a while, let Brother Luo watch it first, okay, let's follow."

Seeing him lock the door, Tao Zhi explained with a smile.

He didn't want to test Qin Luo.

Even if he wanted to test it, he knew he didn't have the qualifications.

I just know that Qin Luo has a calm personality, is very assertive, and doesn't like to be disturbed.

Liu Bo smiled and nodded: "No problem."

Then they looked at each other one by one.

Passing by a store called "Shi Yi Fang", Qin Luo stopped in his footsteps and couldn't help but smile for a moment.

It can already be seen from the transparent window that the items sold here are all pieces of porcelain.

Suddenly, it seemed that the name was very appropriate.

Of course, this kind of store is very small.

It is estimated that it is also the boss's personal hobbies.

Qin Luo immediately walked in.

The owner of the store was not there, and the shopkeeper was a pretty and graceful girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was still wearing her high school uniform and was doing her homework at the counter.

"Welcome...Uncle Liu..."

She said a word without raising her head, and greeted Liu Bo cheerfully when she saw Liu Bo.

"Xiao Jin, where's your father?"

Liu Bo asked with a smile.

"I went out to buy some goods. I think I'll be back soon. You can see for yourself. I haven't finished my homework yet, so I'm in a hurry."

The little girl named Xiaojin said in a slightly anxious tone, and then continued to lower her head to do her homework, apparently very relieved of Liu Bo.

Qin Luo smiled and looked around casually.

In this store, the three walls, including the counter, are full of all kinds of porcelain shards, some new, some old, some large, some small.

No price tag either.

It seems that the boss is very capricious.

However, these fragments are quite good.

Qin Luo casually picked up a piece of palm-sized blue and white flowers, looked at the color and luster, then looked at the incomplete pattern, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that the blue and white flowers of the Kangxi year rushed to the mallet bottle at night."

Liu Bo and Tao Zhi looked at each other, and for a while, they didn't dare to speak.

This……

Isn't this amazing?

Can you see all this?

Just one slice?
Blue vases were found in the three dynasties of Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and they are generally large utensils, so there are rich themes and stories of historical figures on them.

For example, this one was identified by Qin Luo as Hong Fu Ye Ben.

"What about this piece of blue and white flowers?"

"Is it one with it?"

"I have discussed this question with Xiaojin's father for a long time, but there is still no answer. Teacher Qin, can you give us some insight?"

Liu Bo picked up another piece from the counter and asked with a smile.

Qin Luo took a look.

These two pieces, judging from the thickness of the tire wall, the degree of discoloration, the depth of the material used, and the brushwork of the outline, they are quite alike.

but……

"Not this one."

"This one is from the year of Chongzhen, and the story is different. This one is called the Blue and White Bingji Wenniu Story Tank."

Ok?
Tao Zhi and Liu Bo looked at each other.

"Bingji asked the cow? What kind of story is it?"

Ask if you don't understand.

Not ashamed.

Qin Luo said casually: "This original painting is a farmer, holding a buffalo in his hand, facing a court official. Who is Bingji? He was the prime minister of the Western Han Dynasty. He often went out to investigate people's conditions. During one inspection, On the road, he first saw a group of people fighting, but he ignored them and hurried past."

"However, on the way down, when I saw another cow pulling a cart panting heavily, I went down to inquire."

"A follower asked him why he only valued animals and not people?"

"Bingji explained that when people fight, they will be dealt with by special personnel, and if the livestock is abnormal, it means that the solar terms are abnormal, which directly affects the harvest of crops, so you should ask the cows, not the people."

"Of course, this also explains two points from the side. First, there were many knight-errants in the Western Han Dynasty. They often fought on the side of the road, and the folk customs were brave. It’s not as good as a cart drawn by an ox of the same color.”

Qin Luo spoke eloquently.

Both Liu Bo and Tao Zhi were cleared of their doubts, and they nodded repeatedly, feeling that they really learned a lot.

This……

If Qin Luo doesn't say anything, who knows?

Just a craftsman who makes porcelain, who can go to the book to find these allusions?

Even if you see it, you don't know it.

The most I know is a farmer, an official, and a cow.

Besides, Qin Luo can see so much from just one fragment. Obviously, he is very familiar with every detail and every part of these pictures.

Overheard the conversation of several people...

The little girl who was doing homework couldn't help raising her head, and looked at Qin Luo with curiosity.

Then he felt that this man was handsome, his face blushed slightly, and he quickly lowered his head again.

Very learned.

Also very personable.

……

"Where did he collect these things, they are so rich, and there are indeed a lot of high-quality goods in them."

Qin Luo asked curiously.

At this moment, he picked up another third of the plate in his hand.

Liu Bo scratched his head: "I don't know either. My brother, who has traveled all over the world, has the greatest wish in his life to restore the Ru Kiln. However, he has never been able to. Instead, he has collected a bunch of these."

Ru kiln lost?
Qin Luo wanted to ask.

But before the words came out, I felt that these words were outsiders.

The convenience of being a layman is that although he is familiar with ancient times, he doesn't know much about the current situation.

"Ru Kiln is not so easy to imitate, the main thing is the material."

"Among the materials of Ru kiln, there is a taste, which is made by grinding agate into powder and spared no expense."

"Court utensils."

Qin Luo said casually.

Liu Bo suddenly froze.

stunned.

"Ma...agate?"

His scalp was numb for a moment, goosebumps popped out, and his voice was trembling with excitement.

"oops!"

"We have also guessed before that some precious minerals may be incorporated into the glaze, but we have never guessed what it is."

"Take the fragments to the laboratory for testing, but you can't tell them apart. After all, once they enter the kiln, they all react chemically."

"This... this is too extravagant, isn't it, making porcelain out of precious stones?"

he said in surprise.

Qin Luo nodded with a smile and didn't say much.

The luxury of palace porcelain is beyond the imagination of modern people.

How much can porcelain be sold for?

How much is agate worth?
Only the ancient emperors dared to play like this.

Not for money.

Just play.

"I'll make one later, you can take a look."

"By the way, these fragments, should you sell them? Sell them to me?"

"This Qing Yongzheng, famille rose Lu Bu opera Diao Chan plate."

"This, Qing Qianlong, a lantern bottle with alum red color and three acid pictures."

"And this one, the colorful mallet bottle with the story of riding a crane in Yangzhou, should also be from the Kangxi year."

Qin Luo chose three more tiles.

Lu Bu's Diaochan piece is very big, they can all see it.

but……

There are two yuan left, but I don't understand.

Can't see any clues at all.

How did Qin Luo recognize this?

So the two asked separately.

Qin Luo also took the trouble to explain.

"The "Three Sour Pictures" is indeed rare in the world. This is a story from the Song Dynasty, also known as "Taste the Vinegar". Peach Blossom Vinegar, said to taste very delicious, please three people to taste it. The three people drank the vinegar, their expressions were different, their faces were distorted, and they couldn’t laugh or cry. It’s very artistic, so it’s called the Three Sour Picture.”

"As for the other one, Yangzhou Crane, it comes from "Taiping Guangji". Three people met a fairy together, and the fairy asked the wishes of the three. The first said that he would like to get rich. The second said that he would like to be the governor of Yangzhou. The third one said that he would ride a crane down to Yangzhou with one hundred thousand guan in his waist.”

"To be an official, to get rich, to become a fairy, to be perfect."

"The wonderful thing about this bottle is that it is all a virtual scene. There are no immortals, no three people, not even a crane. It is just a fairy spirit, setting off the prosperity of Yangzhou, so it is a test of the craftsman's imagination and composition. "

Liu Bo: ...

Tao Zhi: ...

Unexpectedly, in one fragment, so many can be seen.

This is the real play with porcelain.

Knowledge, confidence, and insight are all here.

Just one word... show!
